[@cmilus892]

Breathtaking performance

[@veratolstikhina7928]

Браво! Летящие прыжки и потрясающая техника.

[@HanhNguyen-ce4gs]

Her jump is huge!

[@kathymyers7279]

Daaaang you got that right!

[@elizzy8754]

Musically perfect especially 0:10 to 0:14 which few get right. The diagonal was good with the proper épaulement. Loved this performance.

[@kathymyers7279]

She’s so ALIVE!

[@williamdeng1870]

If Smirnova can get further training, she really has the potential to become an excellent ballerina.

[@marcosacosta5120]

She is great. The thing I love is the prima ballerina stage presence she has had since her last year in VBA. Hope she gets promoted very soon to the rank she deserves.

[@janiakowska]

a true prima ballerina

[@beawild]

Beautiful form. The height and beauty of her grand jetés is stunning.

[@avesraggiana]

I love girls who can JUMP!!! And hang in the air.

[@lanakapoor817]

"Наши" правят балом!!! Браво!!

[@juanmanuelherrera9190]

моя старая мать кормит диких птиц, разбрасывая семена во дворе. Прилетают черные птицы, похожие на маленьких ворон. Прилетают голуби трех разных видов. Прилетают шумные воробьи. И когда они съели все семена, некоторые из голубей танцуют на грязном полу. Когда я вижу танцоров, я не могу не думать, что они похожи на голубей и танцуют так грациозно, что кажутся просто другим видом птиц.🎶🐦

Beautiful! Wonderful jumps! Lively, happy, moving across the stage.!

[@cynthiafletcher9845]

Amazing jumps, stage presence and strength!! Well done! ❤💕❤

[@carolkostella2585]

Just perfect and magnificent!!

[@misspomerol]

Absolutely fabulous Hangtime in the air but they slowed the music down just a bit too much for the pirouettes sequence. I know they were trying to accommodate her putting in all the doubles but it was just a little too slow. Other than that pretty damn good.

[@feliciacoffey6832]

I agree. This variation sparkles much more when the tempo is a bit faster. But she was absolutely lovely, in spite of it.

[@ЗинаидаКузина-х3з]

Наконец! Прекрасное впечатление от Анастасии Смирновой! Очень достойное выступление . Если честно - ну просто взгляд не на ком остановить из многих конкурсантов. Представляю, как же тяжело было членам ЖЮРИ.

[@wind7899]

👍🌹

[@svetlanasalt1771]

Божественно !✅

[@TVY2013]

Wonderful elegance of line and elevation!

[@robertofalcone8442]

She is a beatiful dream

[@mauriziopaggio6970]

Bella , brava e tecnicamente molto buona . I salti sono magnifici 👍🏽👍🏽

[@nicoletanick1643]

Ok who won this competition? I would bet on her

[@stretchribbon]

unfortunately they didn't give a gold medal in the senior women's solo category :/ the highest prize they gave was silver, and you're right, that went to her. it was a tie between her and Malika Yelchibaeva for silver. the gold medalist for senior women's duet category was Maria Iliushkina, and the gold medalist for junior girls' solos was Maria Koshkaryova.

[@kathrynyuschenkoff8645]

Keep flying.

[@TheBalletGallery]

Oh - that jump!

[@zoea2737]

absolutely gorgeous

[@andressalorenzutti5808]

❤❤❤

[@ЕленаПоткина-м4в]

Прыжки- летящие. Но немного мало художественности. Техника с задвижением на второй план - артистизма. Пока что этап упоения возможностями.

[@АлександрЯрков-ш2з]

Bravo bravo bravo

[@Melomann2000]

Хорошая балерина должна уметь показать свою технику в рамках темпов, указанных автором, а не коверкать музыку, бесконечно, растягивая её как резину, только для того, чтобы она "удивила" нас лишним пируэтом! Это - непрофессионально!

[@avesraggiana]

Yes, but the Maryinsky since at least the days of Oleg Vinogradov have been doing this for years. Their erratic tempi is one of their trademarks.

[@julianmils9225]

Это уже подходит ей гораздо лучше Кармен. Но резкости конечно не хватает.

[@pininfarinarossa8112]

Легкие прыжки и их много, а еще что?

[@____Ga]

Was she an artistic gymnast before? Musicality is her weakest point but technique is superb.
